The impact of educational intervention on physical activity, nutrition and laboratory parameters in type II diabetic patients

Introduction: An integral part of modern healthcare is resort medicine, which should be a continuation of hospital or outpatient treatment. The paper discusses the impact of comprehensive sanatorium rehabilitation on the maintenance of blood pressure, glycaemia and BMI among diabetic patients on a 21-day resort stay in Nałęczów. In addition, the work includes, among others, the latest diabetes control criteria recommended by the Polish Diabetes Association. Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the impact of health resort treatment on diabetes control parameters in the male and female population during 21-day sanatorium stays. Material and Methods: The study group consisted of 152 patients (76 men, 50.00%) with type 2 diabetes mellitus with an average age of 67.45 ± 7.124 years on 21-day spa stays. The study method was a retrospective and comparative assessment of patients’ results in two subgroups. The frequency of physical activity, smoking, the presence of comorbidities, the model of their treatment, and the percentage of balneological and physical procedures ordered were analyzed. Results: The results of our own research show both a decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as fasting blood glucose and 2 hours after a meal in both study groups. The studies also showed weight reduction, which, combined with a proper diet and regular physical activity, is the beginning of a healthy lifestyle after returning from a sanatorium.

Abstract Objectives:To assess the levels and the associated demographic factors with diabetic self- management (DSM) among diabetic patients in Saudi Arabia. The impact of implementing DSM practices on glycemic control was additionally investigated.Results:The responses of 349 patients were analyzed (51.0% males and 37.2% obese). The median (IQR) raw DSMS score was 187 (165-205). Higher DSMS scores were reported for young adults (aged 20-29 years), insulin users, employed patients, as well as those with normal body mass index values and normal HbA1c results compared to their counterparts. Low HbA1c values were linearly associated with high scores of the healthy eating (β = -0.014, p=0.018) and physical activity subscales (β = 90-0.009, p=0.042).Keywords : Self-management; diabetes; glycemic control; Saudi Arabia.

This study measures the distress and Quality of Life (QoL) among people with type II diabetics in relation to physical exercise. The study was conducted using diabetic participants chosen from various hospitals, aerobic centres, playgrounds and gyms in the city of Hyderabad in India. The participants were divided into two groups – group 1 comprising people who did not adopt physical activity as part of their diabetes management strategy and group 2 comprising people who engaged in physical activity. A quasi-experimental study was performed on both groups employing purposive and snowball sampling methods. Pearson r showed that distress is negatively correlated with QoL among type II diabetics in both groups. Independent t-test indicated that participants in group 2 showed better QoL and lower levels of distress compared to their counterparts in group 1.

Abstract Aims Physical activity is the most critical determinant of physical health which reduces the health risks during life. This designed study aims to evaluate the effect of educational intervention based on the theory of planned behavior on promoting physical activity among middle-aged women attending the health centers in Karaj city during 2017-2018. Methods This research was a quasi-experimental controlled trial, and the study incorporated 140 Middle-Aged Women Referring to Karaj Health Centers assigned randomly to a control and intervention group (70 each group). Participants enrolling in the survey were asked to complete the International Physical Activity Questionnaire and also the theory of planned behavior measures at the baseline and the end of the study. The study applied Nonparametric Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests and ANCOVA to interpret the results. Results The results revealed participants' age range between 30 to 50 years with the mean and standard deviation scores 40.07 (8.750) in training and 45.81 (8.513) at the control group. The intervention improved the theory of planned behavior measures and the physical activities of participants. The results showed a significant difference in the attitude score, the perceived behavioral control score, and the level of subjective norms between two training and non-training groups (P<0.001). The followed-up physical activity score also showed an improvement in the IPAQ score of participants in the training group (p<0.001). Conclusions The findings suggested the effectiveness of training based on the theory of planned behavior in the promotion of physical activity among middle-aged women.

Objective: To determine the impact of physician led life style modifications (diet and daily step count by using pedometer) on glycemic control of type II diabetic patients Study Design: Quasi experimental study. Place and Duration of Study: Pak Emirates Military Hospital, Rawalpindi, Aug 2018 to Feb 2019. Methodology: The sample population comprised of 200 diabetic patients reporting for the routine follow-up at a tertiary care hospital in Rawalpindi. Patients were divided into two groups by random method. Group A had the patients with continuation of the routine anti-diabetic medication while group received the physician led life style modifications in addition to the routine anti diabetic medication. Values of HBA1c among the groups were compared three months after the start of study. Results: Mean age of the patients was 42.19 ± 6.175 years. Mean duration of DM in the study participants was 4.52 ± 4.166 years. Out of 115 patients were male while 85 were female. HBA1c in the intervention group was 7.96% ± 0.39 while in the control group was 7.04% ± 0.81. Difference between the two groups was statistically significant (p-value<0.01). Conclusion: This study showed a significant difference in glycemic control of patients who received physician led life style modification in addition to conventional biological treatment than those who only received the routine anti-diabetic medication. Physicians should be trained to impart this sort of education to the diabetic patients in routine diabetic clinics.

The Impact

Background: To evaluate the impact of type-II diabetes mellitus on cognitive function and to assess the factors associated with impaired function.Methods: This prospective study compared 100 type-II diabetic people attending the diabetic clinic of Tirunelveli Medical College Hospital with another 100 membered control group. The study group was selected randomly between the age group of 45-65 years. A neuro-cognitive assessment was done using Standardized Mini Mental State Examination (SMMSE), which is a simple and reliable screening test. This scale has 12 questions with time limits to assess orientation, memory, calculation, language, attention and construction. Magnitude and severity of cognitive decrement were analysed along with the possible factors affecting it.Results: Mean age of the study population was 54.6±7.24 years. Cognitive impairment was noted among 62 of cases and 48 of the control group, which means a 14% higher prevalence of cognitive impairment among the type 2 diabetics. The association of development of cognitive impairment and duration of diabetes mellitus was significant statistically (p value = 0.025443; p<0.05). Other demographic variables like gender, education and domicile were also seen to affect the results.Conclusions: Mild to moderate cognitive impairment was found significantly higher among the type-II diabetics than the non-diabetics. The cognitive impairment was found to be associated with the duration of diabetes. Hence the routine screening of cognition by SMMSE should be done in all type-II diabetic patients.
